*URGENT* Swim bladder Issue?!

[Moonfruit777]

Hey everybody!

I'm very concerned about my Nemateleotris helfrichi. I have had him for about 8 months without any issues and a few days ago he started swimming around in a very strange manner with his tailfin raised up.

What does he have? My best guess is that it's something with his swimbladder.
What can I do about it? What could have caused it?

Here is a photo

And a video because it's kind of hard to tell what is going on.

I appreciate any help you guys can offer!

I treat my freshwater fish here for swim bladder all the time. We use canned peas and it seems to work perfectly fine. Cause by overeating to much eating, lack of oxygen so they gulp for air.

Id imagine the same rules apply. I quarantine fish and put them in a breeder net in a massive QT tank so they are basically in their own 5 gallon and feed canned peas over a week.

the pea, salt bath treatment and Epsom salt treatments do not work on saltwater fish and should not be used on them.
